What is ScriptGecko?
ScriptGecko is a web-based video transcript generator for YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Paste a public video URL and it detects the platform, transcribes the speech, and returns timestamped text you can copy or download as a TXT file. It is aimed at creators, researchers, and marketers who want readable text from social video. Guests get 2 transcripts per day and signed-in free accounts get 3; paid monthly plans start at $9.99 for 200 credits, with 1 credit per started 5-minute block.
